Matières premières locales et allogènes dans les technocomplexes lithiques de Mitoc-Malu Galben [Local and foreign raw matter in the stone assemblages of Mitoc-Malu Galben]
Journal Title: Arheologia Moldovei - Year 2018, Vol 41, Issue 1
Abstract
The procurement and use of lithic raw material by Upper Paleolithic communities has a great potential to reveal important aspects, such as patterns of movement, economic or technologic decisions, etc. The area located between the Eastern Carpathians and the Dniester River is rich in local sources of good-quality raw material, some well-known in the specialized literature as Prut flint and Dniester flint. Unsurprisingly, the Upper Paleolithic sites investigated in this area yielded significant amounts of lithic artifacts worked in local chert. However, other types of raw material were identified (flint, sandstone, shale, and opal), some originating from known sources (Eastern Carpathians, Volhynia). At Mitoc-Malu Galben, a similar pattern is noticeable. Nevertheless, some varieties of flint, such as the black and white flint or the green flint, were brought within the site in some particular stages from unknown areas.
